Ey the iqne accounts we learn, that one of the Bresr SOadron, near Isle &Aix, Was on shore, and 011 her Wan ends, with her masts cut away. Tile French Fleet, consisting" of t t Sail of the Line, the Calcuttti, of 54 guns, and four Frigates, were Observed On Friday last at anchor in Basque It'oads andAtImiraI . STOPFOND'S Squadron, of ¢e yen Sail of the Line and . five Frigates, was at anchor about three miles from them, in a situation which Would prevent them from escaping. at Ea Itai:sike joined Admiral STOrvoan with five ail of the tune and. three Frigates, from Cawsand Bay, And it is probable they will' endeavour to de stroy the French at anchor, and if so every thing may be ene6ted from British valour and skill. Sevcral Danish Vessels, which recently sailed from French Ports, have been captured- by our cvuizeiti. The Masters of two of them arrived in Tim n yesterday mottling, and made depositions in the cohtse of the afternoon, stating, that they sailed iu, consequoce :of private orders, transmitted to them from their Court, through the triecliUm of the, Consuls. . The orders were, we understand, to . Sait without delay from the French - Ports, at the. rtslue of being captured by British cruizers. In conqequence of these orders, r:„; less than 14 Danish vessels sailed at once from Bourdeatix,, besides seve ral from other Ports, • . This conduct, on the part of Denmark, after all, its subruis•ion to France, seems to spew that the tylanny of the latter hai exceeded all possible bounds 01 p;itience, and gives strength to the report that nii,sia' begins to be disgoqed with her conneetion with nyoN4PAlrre, and is likely to join Austria, if she should at last venture upon a rupture with a 'tyrant, whose friendship exists no longer than till ke has an opportunity of carrying his ambitious pro jee•ts into execution. The report. which we have given of the Debstein tlic Muse of Commons , last night, venders it on. tit!ctAhary Tor us to enterinto observations on a sub jen.which lEts itAbed been ao oftetr discussed that it is hardly poisA3le to throw a new light on it. The Orders in Council were Called for by policy, as well a% by a regard to our national rights and cha taaor. If thae 4 Orders had not been issued, Atne riea, 'as bas been justly obse * rved, Would hots en gro,ised all the Continental trade to herself, and BooN:tpAttirtt's Decrees would, in effeB, have really opetated as a .610iicade against this country. The p ,rtialry of the American Government towards Prance is too obvious, and if we quietly perMitted America to carry on her trade with that country, the American people would doubtless have approved of measures by which they would profit but now they opposer hat partiality, because Alias nearly ruined their coin orerbe. It is demonstrable that he Berlin Decree. 115.1 been deeply injurious to our trade, which gradually rose atter the Orders in Council had been issued and k it was a measure of fair retaliation, as well, as of essential policy, the American Government had no re.israt to etimplain' of us,-but should in the first in stance have sought redress against BUONAPARTE, and on the rejection of their reasonable demands, boo ettfer,dMto a hearty co-operation with this Country, Its well from motives oe interest as of national ho nom.. nine subject resorves itself simply into this question—shall we 'suffer America to trade with France, and the Countries dependant 'on her, all blied to be at war , with us, while .France will not peinik America to trade with Great Britain, when h,,,4 no rower to enforce her presumptuous and ainst as riX:Ation4 Deciees ag As a report has appeared in an Opposition Print stating, that a Noble Lord, high in office, hid 'dia.. posed of a Wt itership in the East India Company's $ , -tvice, for a Seat in parliament, we have authority to say that'it is without foundation. firtaAo. .—There was no Court of Aldermen held to-6y ; but the Loup MAYOR, after lespetling the 7'olll'loi of the Mealweigbers, ordered a coutiquAncu of the present prices. - DUTCH PAPERS, Fa Ali VO RT, FRS. rittich Couriers passed 'through this city _yesterday, of whom one weneto Berlin,, and the other to St. Petersburgh. According to letters from Florence and Ancona, several French regiments have matched from the in terior Of Daly towards the Po. Further troops are, expelled from the kingdom. of Naples.. According to letters from Geneva, within a short time, 30,000 FrenchAroops, from the neighbour hood of Lyons, Macon, and Chalons (in which last place the division of Molitor is cantoned), are . to unite at that place. These troops are to march thrcugh the .Valais, and go over the mountain Simplon. PARIS, FEB. 23,—Letters from Madrid of the f uth lostaor, state the following.:— Marshal Ney," Duke of Eichingen, has received the general government of Gallicia, which is in per feet repose, though the part where the English pass- • ed through has suffered greatly. - It was sind that La R011181)3, when he separated from the English, had repaired with a handfel of men to ~Orensa. Marchand's division marched therefore towards Pont Ferrara, hut he met with no one. He nu where saw any insurgents, only a few . disorderly people, such as always plunder the lute rior of a country at the dos of a (411 war. His Majesty king Joseph visited again yesterday the hospitals of his capital. The peoph,.. came in great numbers to sea him. The Emperor, who takes great care of the sick, has decreed,, that a battalion of soldient shall be raised, m order to serve in his ambulatory hospitals. When his Majesty arrived, at Astorga, he w as in fOrtned that two surgeons had been left behind by the Etiglish; as well to take care of their sick as our own; and that our own first surgeon was well pleased with them. On whiclr the Emperor ordered pre sents to be made, and sent them back with all the attentions they merited. The care Which his Majesty takes to furnish his army with good surgeons, may he inferred from this, that on the 12th of January, at Valladolid, he nominated nine surgeons Menibers of the Legion of Honour. Dispatches have been received at the Admiralty from Admiral BBSITIB, at the Cape of Good Hope, dated Dec. 29 ; 'they Advi4e the capture of the Laurel, Captain Woot.comett, of 22 guns, by La Canoniere French Frigate, SG guns, after a severe engagement, which continued near an hour, off . the Isle of France. Eight men were killed, and about 20 wounded, among when, it is with pleasure we can assure our Readers, there was not an Officer of any description. Th e cre w of the Laurel were 64ex/idled to arrive at the Cape,' their exchange having been ef feCied. Among those taken after the enmeinent, were two or three Officers, who had° o rev i ou ,i y been appointed to the Cherwell, of which Ship the Lautel was in search when she fell in with La Cane. nicre. From the absence of Neutrals from the Isle of France, and the stria. qui zing of Our' Ships in that station, by,which all supplies are intercepted, the inhabitants - were reduced to a most deplorable state. Abobt. fourteen Sail of ShipS, captured by our Cruisers, had been Sent into the Cape of Good Hope, since the arrival out of the Leopard wish Ad. miral BERTIE.; The South Stark Liglit-hoUse, off Holyhead, was lighted, on the oth ult. although the weather was very unfavourable, yet it appeared at the distance of four or five leagues as if the whole Stark was . an fire. This useful edifice is sixty feet high, exclu sive of the lauthorn. It has twenty-one lamps placed in the centre of large refledors, from six• teen to twenty inches in diameter. it is on a revolt , . lug principle, and shows its • greatest light in every two minutes. Yesterday morning, 'about twelve o'clock, a gen teel dressed man, in a green coat, went into the shop of Mr. Kelman, shoemaker, in nuriell-Court, and took down two pair of boots, one addressed to G. Ogilvie, Esq. and the other to Mr. Male. Mrs. Kelrnan observing him, ran and laid hold of his coat, and tore it, but being too strong, he made his escape with his booty. On Sunday evening, about eleven o'clock, a Lady was burnt to death in her apartments, opposite the Elephant and Castle ; her clothes caught fire, and In her confusion she threw herself upon the bed, which set fire to the bed-clothes, and before any assistance could be given her, she was so burnt that site died in a few hours afterwards.

The Judge's report of the Prizes will not be m3de, known,' according to annual etutom,.' until atier the dinner, this day, give by his Lordship at Freema. tons' Tavern. An exchange of Prisoners has been negociated with the King of Denmark.. 'A cartel has beennp. pointed, and will sail in a few days froth she NOre ; ' she will take upwards of 200 Danish prisoneri, principally sea►nen, and return with an equal number. A wanton and cruel attack has been made, by an anonymous writer in a Morning Paper, upon Mr. RAYMOND, the Astor, charging him with having deserted the interests of the great body of performers, who have been thrown out of employment by the unfortunate event at Drury-Lane Theatre, and en deavouring to provide only for himself. Messrs. WHOUGHTON, 'BARNISTER, BRAITAM, • and L'LLIS- Tort, have, much to \their credit, come forwasd to repel this slander. 'the private worth, and literary talents of Mr. RAYMOND; might be expected to ex empt him from such illiberal attacks. Nothing has been settled yet respeaing a plan for the 'rebuilding of Drury• Lane Theatre.—The Duke of BeDFORD, from his munificent charkter, his large property, and his interest in the concern, is the person to whom the Performers and the whole aims' of sufferers chiefly direst their attention.— This Nobleman, as well as the Duke of NOHTHUM. BETILAND, principally coetributed to invest the late Mr. IttcusensoN with thatshare of the property of which his widow and children have been so no form stately deprived. Under theauspices of the Duke of Benvoun, some plan may be devised to which the Public in general, as well as the parties immediately concerned, would look with hope and confidence. Music.—The Concerts under the direaion of Mrs'. BILLINGTON, NALDE, and Bit/MANI, corn minced for the Season last night, at the Hanover. . square Rooms. The seleaion and performance were in the best style of excellence. In addition to the great Performers who preside over these Cencerts, Sturm, MortELLI, BELLAMY, VAUGHAN, Goss, Mahone BIANCHI, *Ws DARBY, and Sipora COL LINI, are engaged to support them. Some of the Pieces were encored, and the whole was an exqui site repast for the.copnoisseurs.—Mrs. IliwNou:ou seem to be quite in the meridian of her powers. The novelties of last night were a grand Sit yonia, com posed by.Rosteenn, aced a Glee, by M. P. KINd, sung by Basts.ssr, VAUGHAN, and BELLAMY. • Notwithstanding the immense attraction of CA TALAN' at Bath, the benefits there have hitherto been splendid.—Mrs.Wmnsoa's, on Saturday, bumper; and Miss JAINIECON I B, on. Tuesday, a com plete overflow. It is highly creditable to the Bath public, that however inclined to countenance the novelty of strangers, they never desert the merit that constantly caters for them thronghout.the year. Fitts.--During the conflagration at Christ's Hos pital, Oxford, another fire, of a more destructive na ture, broke out at Lee Farm (Mr. Hodgkins's), in the same county, sixteen milts from Oxford, and nine from Dorchester. It broke out in a hen-roost in a spacious farm yard s and communicated to the stables, over which a man and boy were . sleeping, and whe were burnt. Above twenty head of clittle were destroyed, together withsevFral ricks of corn and hay : neither Mr. *Hodgkins, nor his family were at home at the time of the tire. The'pretnises were but sligtitlY insured.

AGRICOLITIML liEl MOWTRLY REPORT VOX PRIMUARY. The drying winds towards the close of the month have recovered the growing Wheats considerably, rendering them capable of receiving the hoe, which they want this season more than usual. Barleys have begun. to be sown . pretty generally, and Oats also upon dry soils. The inundations have laid many thousand acres under water in Lincolnshire and Cambridgeshire, that were intended for Lent Corn bowing, but which cannot be drained for many months to come. The Wheat Markets con tinue pretty steady, but they will probably be ma• terially affected by great importations from France, large quantities being shipped in American bottoms, and intended, under the connivance of the French, Government, for English ports. The continued ra- Strietion of the Irish distillers from the use of grain, will prdve a salutary triC3alfe, preventing the large expel tat ion of barley and oats to Ireland, which - this country certainly cannot spare. The Turnip seed in Norfolk and Suffolk is nearly exhausted, and the. Rye-grass and Clovers are in too backward a state to atlord any substitute for it for some time.—Flay and Stow continue at nearly last month's —The Meat Markets have experienced a furthec advance in prime ou beef and weather mutton; .Pig Pork is dearer. 'tool, for short fleeces, has had an other strirt, particularly in the Merino'kind, which is much in demand: Store Sheep and Hogs . , are rather cheaper ; well-bred, but goo d age d beasts, are worth more money. Horses of inferior kinds are scarcely saleable, bk:t those of figure either for the field or harness, are as high priced as ever. MARLOyntIGII-STREET.--A woman of respea" able appearance, of the name of Smith, was charged with'robberies in the house of Lord l-l. Petty, Mri. Tierney, M. P. and several other by a novel plan.— , ' It appeared in evidence that the Prisoner made S praklice of calling at the ditiereift houses of per sons of distinaion, and on entering the hall, `her first inquiry was for the housekeeper.
